umstaetter Publishing was founded in February 2016 by Brigitta Umstätter.
The motto of the new publishing house – „Contemporary Books“ – stands for its programme regarding up-to-date topics, their context as well as the appearance of the publications. The first release „Stadtarbeit“ is a corporate publication for the Vienna Design Week and will be the prototype in every sense as a review of austrian design and designers of the last decade embedded within the current discourse of international design, architecture, social trends and art.

"Vienna’s proud artisanal history makes it a perfect place for such a project. The city’s making skills played a critical role in one of the most famous chapters of its design history, the emergence of the Wiener Werkstätte craft workshops from the Vienna Secession movement in the early 1900s, yet they originated long before."

"Vienna Design Week is not simply about promotion, or just about making Vienna feel good about itself (although it certainly does that, too). It has always been, and in their hands always will be, about intellectual curiosity and ideas."
